1 The Feed Bag January 2017 Volume 39, Issue 1 A Diablo Valley Mustang Association Publication It s All About The Steal DVMA Christmas Brunch, Dec 11, 2016 DVMA members gathered for a wonderful Christmas brunch at El Tapatio in Pleasant Hill on Dec 11. There were 40 members in attendance this year so the chairs were spacious enough for everyone to be comfortable (and keep their prizes on top of the tables) in our private room. The food and mimosas were great, some members enjoyed personal omelettes, and everyone had a super time. Most members participated in the lively gift exchange which became the steal-a-gift event. Harry explained most of the rules before beginning and then pulled a raffle ticket to determine who would be first. Janet had her ticket pulled for the first prize! This year there were gift cards, model Mustangs, tool and socket kits, a Snap-On poker set, wax warmers (aromas), a duffle bag (that is available at Delta Bay Mustang), Ford cups with hot cocoa packages, a gourmet food server, and a popcorn gift bag. Not everyone played but those who did enjoyed a fun time trying to get the best item to take home. Raffle tickets were used to give the table poinsettia plants to ticket winners. DVMA provided the plants and part of the dinner cost for members. Many thanks to DVMA and all members attending for a wonderful start to the Christmas and holiday season. DVMA members must have quite a sweet tooth because this year s battle was not over an RC car or tools but a chocolate assortment! Can t remember who won; was it Don Williams,?See more photos,courtesy of Jim Blair. on page 6
